The original plans were that I'd be attending a Funeral Mass right now, but here I am at home working on my weekly laundry. My backup ride to the funeral had to bail this morning, he had come down with a bad case of the flu: aches all over his body, diarrhea, vomiting. I'd already cancelled my primary ride, letting the driver go to her regular job today instead of missing a day's pay to drive me around.
Interestingly I have a friend in Florida who has just come out of a similar flu. Could the same strain be running here in South Texas as in Florida? Hmm... Now I could have caught another ride to the funeral, but he who I would have called works closely with the driver who is now sick. Hmm... No, I don't want to needlessly expose my old self to this bug. I WILL be attending a Council meeting this evening. But I'm staying home from the funeral.
